Slider Scroll

Hi Charlie,

atm there is a issue with the slider when drag is enabled it does sldie when scrolling.

Is it possible to get that added as feature so we have 3 interaction options? : CLICK | DRAG | SCROLL
See this post: Slider slides on scroll when "drag" ist activated

Thanks in advance! :slight_smile:

I’ve also noticed this on several of my sites lately, today in fact. I know @Charlie was hoping to look at improving the slider in general. So many sites use some type of slider that I think this is pretty important, since it makes things look a bit unprofessional when your slides are zipping back and forth all over the place :grinning:

Yeah, Charlie was eyeing Swiper as a potential replacement for their own in-house developed slider code.

We’ll add in a control to enable or disable the wheel scrolling on sliders. Hopefully in the next release. I do still think going with Swiper is a better play long term given all the features it has. Have a great day.

While we’re waiting for Swipr please don’t forget that there is an ongoing problem with carousel sliders where they move around on their own. I just checked on the ThemeCo demo site and it still happens. When you scroll down to the carousel one on a phone.

As mentioned here: https://theme.co/forum/t/issues-with-carousel-sliders/112695

This feature was released and I’ll assume we’re all happy with it now.

@spedney I can take a look this week for you. However we have over 20 issues with our sliders in our issue tracker and I think as a certain point we need to start looking at a different solution like Swiper for our sliders.
